![### Reaction Mechanism Identification Exercise
**Reactions:**
1. **Reaction 1:**
- Starting Materials:
- A tertiary alcohol (with a cyclohexane ring and a tert-butyl group).
- Hydriodic acid (HI).
- Products:
- Phenol and a tert-butyl cation intermediate.
2. **Reaction 2:**
- Starting Materials:
- 2-Methylpropene.
- Bromine (Br₂) in methanol (CH₃OH).
- Products:
- A bromomethoxy product and hydrobromic acid (HBr).
**Mechanism Options:**
- **a** = Proton transfer
- **b** = Lewis acid/base
- **c** = Radical chain substitution
- **d** = Radical chain addition
- **e** = Electrophilic addition
- **f** = E1 Elimination
- **g** = E2 Elimination
- **h** = Sₙ1 Nucleophilic substitution
- **i** = Sₙ2 Nucleophilic substitution
**Instructions:**
Identify the mechanism by which each of the reactions proceeds from among the mechanisms listed. Use the letters a - i for your answers.
1. Reaction Mechanism: [ ]
2. Reaction Mechanism: [ ]
This exercise is designed to test your understanding of organic reaction mechanisms and their characteristics. Consider factors such as the nature of the starting materials, reaction conditions, and product formation when identifying the appropriate mechanisms.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F4f7442e5-ed1a-4154-ba5d-4813abad6cff%2F8f2d5210-35aa-4434-9493-a4ae6816f624%2Fr6mkrp8_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
